Many studio headlines come across our desks at Cinelinx on any given day. Most are from major movie studios, and some from independent film production companies that are begging for a bit of extra attention.

For our latest Indie Beat profile, we talk with director/cinematographer Corey Snyder, who has created and produced a new docu-drama web series called Hitting Rock Bottom, which debuts on April 12 on Youtube and other online venues.
Rob: Tell us what Hitting Rock Bottom is about.
Corey: Hitting Rock Bottom is a documentary style drama about people who somehow got caught up in a life of drugs and crime and their lives totally fell apart until they hit rock bottom, and then had to fight their way back up from the bottom. This show is as much about the recovery as it is about the fall. It’s an intense show but it’s also a hopeful one. Every episode will be based on a true story.
Rob: How did you come up with the idea for this show?
Corey: Well, I’m a recovering alcohol and drug user. I’m five years clean.
